Governor Whitmer’s Proposal:
Governor Whitmer’s proposal is a significant step towards making EV ownership accessible and affordable for more families. The proposal offers substantial benefits, including up to $10,000 in savings on the purchase of an EV. This encompasses a $7,500 federal tax credit, a $2,000 rebate for a new EV, and a $500 state rebate for at-home charging equipment, applicable to both new and used electric vehicles. Moreover, the long-term benefits of owning an EV are notable, with potential savings from $6,000 to $10,000 over the vehicle’s lifespan compared to a gas-powered alternative. EVs also require fewer repairs, have lower maintenance costs, and are significantly cheaper to charge than their gasoline counterparts. This transition to electric mobility not only saves drivers money, but also creates new auto jobs and safeguards clean air and water for future generations. (Read More)
